Summary

This study will aim to investigate the effects of vestibular rehabilitation, dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS), and conservative rehabilitation exercises on balance and mobility in hemiplegic patients, and to compare the exercise programs with one another. Evaluation tools include the Brunnstrom Motor Staging, Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Motor Function Scale, Modified Ashworth Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination, Berg Balance Scale, Stroke Impact Scale, and Timed Up and Go test.

Detailed description

This study will aim to investigate the effects of vestibular rehabilitation, dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS), and conservative rehabilitation exercises on balance and mobility in hemiplegic patients, and to compare the exercise programs with one another. A total of 45 hemiplegic patients will enrolled and randomized into three groups: Conventional Exercise Group (CEG, n = 15), Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Group (DNSG, n = 15), and Vestibular Rehabilitation Group (VRG, n = 15). Each group will be participated in specialized exercise programs twice a week for six weeks. All groups will be underwent assessments before and after treatment. Evaluation tools include the Brunnstrom Motor Staging, Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Motor Function Scale, Modified Ashworth Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination, Berg Balance Scale, Stroke Impact Scale, and Timed Up and Go test.
